You have the right bike and room for the right clothing. With good weather forcasts available by computer you should be able to pick a clear spot a hit the road. Enjoy the ride.

Wow. Thanks. You guys are great. I've got my gear packed and my camera. I am planning on touring the Joshua Tree park in Palm Desert. If I can ever figure out how to upload pic's I'll share. In the meantime, thanks for the encouragement. It tipped the scales for me.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could right now. I've ridden 1100 miles in 21 hours straight before. That's a little much but heck, I'm only 52

1100 miles round trip? thats 550 out and 550 back. piece of cake for ya.... i would do it in a heartbeat. in fact, i wish i was doing it, unfortunately, i have no reason to go out that far, and besides, 36* is a tad chilly

I ride from San Diego to Northern California all of the time 7 -8 hours each direction, rode up one morning for a 1 hour meeting then rode back the same day over 1100 miles in same day with a meeting and late lunch in the middle..... as far as temps, wear the right clothing and who cares what the temp is...
